Airport Questions
Why no mobile use in baggage claim?
Could the Cayman Islands Airports Authority cite the regulations in question (banning cell phones at baggage claim)? Why would the world end if people could text “I’m waiting for my luggage now”? Auntie’s answer: This question appeared as a comment on a previous Ask Auntie column concerning wifi at the airport. And if you click […]
Where can I park to pick up people from airport?
I have guests arriving this Wednesday, 27 March, at ORIA about the same time as Prince Charles is dedicating the airport. It says that parking will be closed to the public. Does this mean short-term parking for people who will be meeting passengers as well? If so, what provisions are being made to accommodate the […]
No wifi at airport arrivals hall
I recently was at the remodelled airport to pick up arriving guests. While waiting for them I wanted to use wifi from the airport on my phone.

What businesses will be opening at the airport?
What is happening with the awarding of airport concessions at the new Owen Roberts International Airport? Bids were submitted in June last year and awards were due to be made in August. The silence has been deafening ever since. Can you clarify? Auntie’s answer: I have been unable to get all the details you requested […]
Querying cost of flight to Little Cayman
Please find out why Cayman Airways Express Service charges more to fly to Little Cayman than to Cayman Brac.
